Are you a Texas Ex living in the Houston Area?
We need your help sharing your UT Austin experience with prospective and admitted students from the Houston area. There are many ways to get involved with our recruitment efforts, but the first step is to sign up with Exes for Texas—a program in the Office of Admissions that connects Texas Exes with prospective and admitted students.
